Heitor Schiave, ever the considerate son, tried to impersonate his mother, Maria Schiave, who had already failed her driving test three times. The car mechanic from Porto Velho made a convincing case, rocking a floral blouse, blow dried locks and a red lip in a bid to fool the driving instructors. Donning full make-up with painted red nails, a floral blouse and long flowing skirt and his hair blow-dried into a soft feminine style, the car mechanic looked every inch the part. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied Driving instructor Aline Mendonça told the Daily Mail she didn’t notice it was a man dressed as a woman until she sat next to him in the car. “His disguise didn’t register as unusual at first because I had just finished testing my fifth candidate so was a little distracted,” she said. “However, when I got into the car and sat down beside who I thought was the provisional driver, I quickly realised this was a man dressed as a woman.” His … [Read more...] about Man dresses up as his 60-year-old mother to sit her driving test

How ‘The Fast and the Furious’ Took Over the World
The super-charged actioner that would go on to spawn the unpredictably explosive, physics-defying $2.3 billion The Fast and the Furious juggernaut franchise was born one hot July 2000 afternoon on the sunbaked asphalt at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium. That’s the day filming began and cameras started rolling on Paul Walker, the appealing blond actor director Rob Cohen had cast in The Skulls, hitting moves behind the wheel of a tricked out green Mitsubishi Eclipse as undercover LAPD cop Brian O’Conner.

Steven Kane, the owner of the car, said: “We’d pulled up at the seafront and I was playing on the green with my brother’s little girl when I looked up and spotted him. He is lucky that I saw him. I have no idea where we picked up our little hitchhiker, it could have been anywhere.” Lucy Brennan, an RSPCA inspector, attended the scene and contacted the AA to free the animal. “The cat was trapped in the grille of the car and the driver was unsure how long he had been there or where he had come from,” she said, revealing the cat had been named Ford by the charity. “As the family had been driving around quite a lot on their holidays, from Stevenage to Clacton, he … [Read more...] about Cat travels up to 80 miles stuck in air vent of Ford Focus
